mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if they have it cached already. This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which caused problems for some clients. If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed. The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization. Otherwise it is very close to what's described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-avatars.html

summary: 'Replacement for mod\_vcard with vcard4 support and PEP integration'
---

# Introduction

This module provides a replacement for [mod\_vcard]. In addition to
the ageing protocol defined by [XEP-0054], it also supports the [new
vCard 4 based protocol][xep0292] and integrates with [Personal
Eventing Protocol][xep0163].

Also supports [XEP-0398: User Avatar to vCard-Based Avatars Conversion].

The vCard 4, [User Avatar][xep0084] and [User Nickname][xep0172]
PEP nodes are updated when the vCard is changed..

# Configuration

    modules_enabled = {
        -- "vcard";  -- This module must be removed

        "profile";
    }

# Compatibility

Requires Prosody **trunk** as of 2014-05-29. Won't work in 0.10.x.

It depends on the trunk version of [mod\_pep][doc:modules:mod_pep] for PEP support, 
previously known as [mod\_pep\_plus][doc:modules:mod_pep_plus].
